Cid Vicious

Abandoned mine several years ago. Kind of a shame, they were a good option for a while for people who weren’t windows fans but didn’t want to run linux full time. Apple just doesn’t really have any offerings for people who want a desktop that’s upgradeable, but don’t want to drop the money on a Mac Pro.

Yep exactly. Luckily I’m not longer working at one, so I can uninstall it.

It’s definitely iterative but the newer eInk screens are higher res and color. Dunno how refresh rates compare on the color screens.

They were subsidizing them to establish an ebook marketplace. They’re no longer doing so.

I still have my Kindle Keyboard. It still works but the front lighting on new ereaders is a big upgrade. The software was pretty primitive back then too.

I’ve worked places where they required specific TOTP apps. That’s the only reason I had MS Authenticator on my phone

For anyone thinking of investing into Luckey’s company, I invite you to consider the fact that this man has access to the most expensive stylists in the world, and yet he chose to do that to his face and hair. Is this a man whose judgement you trust?

Not that I follow very closely but yeah I believe the original arrest was in Romania. Big cases like this can take years to resolve. Not sure how extradition laws would apply here.

It’s illegal in the US too. But there are still places that do it. Post-COVID a lot of places will have some sort of percentage surcharge that is not a tip but people assume it is and don’t tip.

I’m sure the majority of reddit users either don’t know or don’t care about the events of two summers ago. And with reddit cracking down on more and more content…they may not even know about all of the stuff reddit is cracking down on. How long until a crackdown on posts about reddit cracking down?

So basically, he shot himself directly in the foot, puts a bandage on the foot, and declares the bandage as a victory. And for some reason the stock market cheers for this.🙄

Well also at one point www.domain.com may have actually been a single physical server. That hasn’t been true for sites of any size in a long time.

Huh I can’t find a reference so perhaps what I read was a “in taste tests most people prefer” rather than being based on sales volume. I remember it mostly because it seemed like an odd fact to me.

Er, I seem to recall reading that calrose rice (as pictured in the preview) is the most popular variety in Japan, and the “cal” is California. Is this just about a subset of people who prefer domestically grown varieties?

Shits and giggles.

The first part? Abso-fucking-lutely.

This was a high profile case that was all over the news for weeks. And frankly it looks like a slam dunk for the prosecution. The Biden Justice Department absolutely would’ve brought federal charges.

Not sure how you figure that. Trump is not exactly hands off with the Justice Department.

Not at all surprising and it wouldn’t have been any different under the last administration. From the whole “rule of law” perspective you can’t really not go after somebody who committed premeditated murder on film just because his target was someone that people didn’t like. What the jurors decide to do is a whole different can of worms (although if you ask me to make a prediction, I think they most likely find him guilty).

If they’re going to pretend it wasn’t classified, proving otherwise makes sense.

Not sure, he apparently posted the bond but also filed an appeal at the same time. So she may not be paid until the appeal is resolved.
